The concept of solitude(独处) in the digital world is almost non-existent. In the world of digital technology, e-mail, social networking and online video games, information is meant to be ______. Solitude can be hard to discover ______it has been given up. In this respect, new technologies have ______our culture.
The desire to be connected has brought solitude to a(n)      as we've known it. People have become so     in the world of networks and connections that one can often be contacted     they'd rather not be. Today we can talk, text, e-mail, chat and blog (写博客), not only from our    , but from our mobile phones as well.
Most developed nations have become     on digital technology simply because they've grown accustomed to it, and at this point not     it would make them an outsider.    , many jobs and careers require people to be     . From this point of view, technology has changed the culture of work. Being reachable might feel like a     to those who may not want to be able to be contacted at all times.
I suppose the positive side is that solitude is still possible for anyone who     wants it. Computers can be shut      and mobile phones can be turned off. The ability to be "connected" and " on" has many    , as well as disadvantages. Travelers have ended up     on mountains, and mobile phones have saved countless lives. They can also make people feel     and forced to answer unwanted calls or    to unwanted texts.
Attitudes towards our connectedness as a society     across generations. Some find today's technology a gift. Others consider it a curse. Regardless of anyone's view on the subject, it's hard to imagine what life would be like     daily advancements in technology.

A year later, I 34 my goal: I lost 150 pounds and raised ＄50,000! I feel that I've been given a second life to devote to something that is 35 and enormous.

The journey my daughter Cathy has had with her swimming is as long as it is beautiful.

Cathy suffered some terrible 16 in her early childhood. After years of regular treatment, she 17 became healthy.

Two years ago, while Cathy was watching the Olympics, a dream came into her sweet little head-to be a swimmer. Last summer, she wanted to 18 out local swim team. She practiced hard and finally 19it. The team practice, 20was a rough start. She coughed and choked and could hardly 21her first few weeks. Hearing her coughing bitterly one night, I decided to 22 her from it all. But Cathy woke me up early next morning, wearing her swimsuit 23to go! I told her she shouldn't swim after a whole night's coughing, but she refused to 24 and insisted she go .

From that day on, Cathy kept swimming and didn't 25 a single practice. She had a 26intention within herself to be the best she could be. My ten-year-old was growing and changing right before my eyes, into this 27 human being with a passion and a mission. There were moments of 28 of course: often she would be the last swimmer in the race. It was difficult for Cathy to accept that she wasn't a 29 ---ever. But that didn't stop her from trying.

Then came the final awards ceremony at the end of the year. Cathy didn't expect any award but was still there to 30 her friends and praise their accomplishments. As the ceremony was nearing the end, I suddenly heard the head coach 31 , "The highest honor goes to Cathy!" Looking around, he continued, "Cathy has inspired us with her 32 and enthusiasm. 33skills and talents bring great success, the most valuable asset(财富)one can hold is the heart."

It was the greatest 34 of my daughter's life. With all she had been 35 in her ten years, this was the hour of true triumph(成功).
